I'm not aware of any animals who want to vote. I am aware of some polygamists who want the ability to marry. I can see benefits for non-sexual partners who are committed to living together. When it reaches that point I have no doubt the odd religious cult will seek these benefits. There is one over by Nelson B.C. right now who hold everything in common. Why not children?

No what it affects is the next generation. They will grow up without any clear or appealing marital model. If the women have children it will be with the expectation of probably raising them alone. The State will take on more and more of this responsibility through earlier and earlier child care and after school placements. Of course when they are home media will take a large babysitting role. This generation will grow up with even less of an idea of the dynamics of a family with a father and a mother and siblings is. They will also grow up with scant positive male role models. Their view of the world will be influenced by media and the State.
